Crossword Genius

Comparatively loud English supporter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brassiere

'supporter' is the definition.
(a bra gives support to breasts)

'comparatively loud english' is the wordplay.
'comparatively loud' becomes 'brassier' ('brassy' can be a synonym of 'loud').
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'brassier'+'e'='BRASSIERE'

(Other definitions for brassiere that I've seen before include "Female undergarment supporter" , "garment" , "support" .)
